The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 6
When Liu Bian opened his eyes again, the familiar scene was still in front of him.

The dim room, the flickering oil lamp, Tang Ji kneeling beside her, and the sound of footsteps getting closer outside the door.

Liu Bian held Tang Ji's soft hand silently, and said in a gentle voice, "My dear concubine, please wait here with peace of mind, I will be back to pick you up soon."

Tang Ji saw that Liu Bian's eyes were surprisingly firm, so she nodded repeatedly and said, "My concubine only hopes that the king will take care of your body. Cherish it, and cherish it again."

Liu Bian smiled, and then slowly let go of Tang Ji's hand.

When Li Ru and the armored soldier holding a tray appeared in front of Liu Bian, Liu Bian didn't give Li Ru a chance to speak at all, so he grabbed the beginning of a sentence and said, "I'm not sick, bring me some wine."

Li Ru smiled coldly, and blurted out subconsciously: "Your Majesty doesn't care much, so I need you to wait by the side?"

As Li Ru was speaking, he was startled suddenly, he silently looked at Liu Bian, after the two looked at each other for a long time, Li Ru silently waved to the soldier beside him, and said, "Hurry up and serve the wine. "

The soldier had just recovered from his bewilderment. Hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully handed the tray in front of Liu Bian.

"If I had known this before, why would I have to hide it? Being belittled by a vulgar warrior for no reason is really not worth the candle."

Liu Bian glanced coldly at the soldier in front of him, and thought: "This is Qiu Ba, who poured me poisonous wine over and over again, hum, when I have mastered martial arts, I will kill you soon."

Thinking about it, Liu Bian picked up the wine glass and drank it in public.

After drinking the poisonous wine, Liu Bian still didn't forget to smack his mouth and said, "This wine is really good, remember to bring some more when you come next time."

Liu Bian smiled and cast a reassuring look at Tang Ji, and immediately fell into Tang Ji's arms.

When he woke up again, Liu Bian, accompanied by Zhuge Yan, went to the Xuanzheng Hall to hold the enthronement ceremony.

It is still the same set of procedures as before, read out the imperial edict of the first emperor, then hold the enthronement ceremony, then get the novice gift package, and finally choose the imperial examination in the column of the Ministry of Rites.

After completing the above-mentioned series of operations, Liu Bian did not rush to choose to retreat, but turned his attention to the official department.

Liu Bian silently opened the column of the Ministry of Officials, and then checked one by one in the list of functions of the Ministry of Officials.

When Liu Bian clicked on the second option, changing officials, his eyes lingered on the ambition column for a long time.

A list of officials in Beijing appeared on the screen. Liu Bian checked the list for a long time, and then thought of giving it a try, and tapped lightly on the ambition column in the list options.

The next moment, the officials' ambitions were listed one by one from top to bottom.

The person ranked first is Ouyang Deng, who holds the position of Wenyuan Counselor, and his ambition is as high as 96. With this value, it can be concluded that he will definitely raise his troops to rebel one day in the future.

The second ranked person is named Zhao Guang, who is an official minister of the Ministry of Rites, and his ambition value is 83.

The third ranked person is named Zhao Jing, who holds the position of Taifu, and his ambition value is 71.

The ambition values ​​of the others are all below 60, which is a value that can be temporarily accepted.

Liu Bian lightly clicked on the selection button behind the names of the above three people, and the next moment, a list of officials who were unemployed at home appeared on the screen.

Liu Bian carefully checked the attributes of the crowd, and immediately selected three officials with decent attributes to replace the ambitious Ouyang Deng.

Fan Qing, force 32, wisdom 47, domination 48, politics 56, ambition 6, morality 40, charisma 46, loyalty 69, age 53.

Liu Bian replaced Wen Yuan's counselor Ouyang Deng with Fan Qing.

Dai Zhiqun, 54 in force, 58 in wisdom, 58 in domination, 43 in politics, 59 in ambition, 41 in morality, 54 in charm, 60 in loyalty, and 41 in age.

Liu Bian replaced Zhao Guang, Minister of Rites, with Dai Zhiqun.

Song Xiuzhuang, force 42, wisdom 48, domination 44, politics 53, ambition 46, morality 46, charisma 42, loyalty 59, age 43.

Liu Bian finally replaced Grand Tutor Zhao Jing with Song Xiuzhuang.

Liu Bian finally learned the previous lesson, and would rather appoint some incompetent and low moral people than ambitious people.

It has to be said that for Liu Bian, this is already an improvement.

Before withdrawing from the option of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Bian kicked Ouyang Deng out of the officialdom in the option of cleaning up idle officials.

"I will never use the imperial court's money to support this group of ambitious wolf-hearted people." Liu Bian thought so.

After his physical strength was exhausted, Liu Bian resolutely chose to retreat.

After this imperial examination, Liu Bian hand-picked a total of three officials on the list of titles on the gold list.

The person selected by Liu Bian as the number one scholar was named Li Sheng. His grades were: 94 in martial arts, 81 in liberal arts, and 90 in character.

Compared with Li Sheng, the attribute value of the person who was hand-picked by Liu Bian as the No. [-] and No. [-] player is not enough.

The person who was selected by Liu Bian as the second place was named Gong Yan. His test scores were: 59 in martial arts, 48 ​​in liberal arts, and 51 in character.

The person who was appointed by Liu Bian to be a flower explorer was named Shen Ce. His test scores were: 45 in martial arts, 58 in liberal arts, and 52 in character.

The reason why Liu Bian hand-picked Gong Yan and Shen Ce to enter the court was to replace those court moths with high ambitions and low morals with them.

After dealing with the selection of officials in the imperial examination, Liu Bian carefully summarized the failure experience of the previous Sims on the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a chariot.

"Appointing talents should not be influenced by personal likes and dislikes. They should be appointed step by step and dismissed as appropriate. They should also learn to use both grace and power, so that they can feel the majesty of the emperor's grace, and at the same time let the other party know the truth of the unpredictable power of heaven."

"People who are officials in other places should keep their family members in Beijing as hostages. In this way, the other party will always have scruples before doing anything."

The chariot slowly stopped in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Seeing this, Liu Bian silently withdrew his thoughts, and immediately said to Zhuge Yan who was respectfully standing by his side: "Let Li Sheng, Gong Yan, and Shen Ce enter the palace to have an audience."

"According to the order."

Zhuge Yan was about to personally announce the decree on Liu Bian's behalf, but he heard Liu Bian behind him say in a warm voice: "These trivial matters can be done by the subordinates, why do you need a big companion to go there in person?"

Hearing this, Zhuge Yan turned around to look at Liu Bian with a puzzled face, and saw that he was looking at him with a smile, so Zhuge Yan quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, master, for your compassion."

After Zhuge Yan finished speaking, he casually ordered a young eunuch in the square in front of the hall, and said, "Hurry up and deliver the decree, order Li Sheng, Gong Yan, and Shen Ce to enter the palace immediately to have an audience."

"Yes." The little eunuch left in response.

After entering the hall, Liu Bian stood in front of the case with his hands behind his back, looked at Liu Keming for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "Liu Keming."

Upon hearing this, Liu Keming bowed quickly and said, "Your maidservant is here."

"Did I go too far in the way I treated my servants when I was still in the residence?" Liu Bian said.

Liu Keming's heart tightened, and he immediately said with sincerity and fear: "Thunder, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, no matter how the master treats the slaves, the slaves will be happy."

"Do not."

Liu Bian shook his head and said: "I am telling you this in the hope that you can understand that I was ignorant in the past, and my actions were inevitably absurd, but now that I have ascended the throne and become emperor, naturally I will never do what I did before. Such an absurd thing."

"Master is the son of heaven, but he still doesn't forget to show compassion for such despicable people as slaves. The slaves are really ashamed. I wish I could immediately take out my whole heart to prove the loyalty of the slaves to the master."

Liu Keming was moved to tears by Liu Bian's words. At this moment, he wished he could show his heart and soul to Liu Bian to prove his loyalty.

"The future is long, don't say it so scary, we are still young, we should take care of our health."

"Yes, what the master said is very true." Liu Keming said.

Liu Bian silently picked up an imperial brush from the brush sea, and wrote a sentence on the rice paper in front of him: Shi Boen, a superior person, may have a miraculous effect.
